Pork Chops with Apples and Cranberries
It’s Fall Y’all! And what better way to usher in the season than with a delightful meal for two! My Pork Chops with Apples and Cranberries is the perfect way to celebrate all that Fall has to offer. And it is so simple to prepare.
This recipe is full of fresh ingredients. It is gluten-free. And if you need it to be sugar free, then you can leave out the dried Cranberries. However, they add a nice tart element to the dish. You can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to replace the dried cranberries if you need to.
Pork Chops with Apples and Cranberries is a modification of a recipe I shared a long time ago. Back when I first started filming YouTube videos, I shared a recipe for Slow Cooker Apple Butter Pork Loin. It feeds a crowd and is a clever way to use apple butter. I have had several followers request meals for two (and it is good practice for me) so I created this new version of an old favorite.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. It was a nice change of pace and sure did make it feel more like Fall at our house.
